Description

Overflowing with timeless character and perfectly positioned in Jackson's desirable Under the Oaks Historic District, this classic home offers the space, charm, and flexibility today's buyers are searching for--plus a location that truly shines. Step outside to a private, garden-filled backyard retreat--ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the seasons--while still being walkable to downtown with easy access to the multi-modal path, close to Jackson High, and convenient to shopping, dining, and commuter routes.

Inside, you'll immediately appreciate the home's welcoming flow, highlighted by a wide staircase leading to the second floor and a spacious landing that creates an open, airy feel. The main level offers comfortable everyday living with a convenient half bath, while thoughtful storage is found throughout--including large closets and multiple built-ins. The kitchen is both functional and distinctive, featuring a custom wood ceiling, solid-surface countertops, a downdraft stove, and exceptional cabinetry and storage, including a butler's pantry plus additional kitchen cabinets tucked along the stairway to the basement--ideal for pantry items, serving pieces, and small appliances.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with generous bedroom spaces and great storage. A full bath includes built-in linen storage, adding even more everyday convenience. Looking for future potential? A walk-up attic provides excellent additional storage now and offers exciting possibilities for finishing into expanded living space down the road.

The lower level adds even more versatility with a walk-out basement that's perfect for recreation, hobbies, or a second living area. You'll also find a large full bathroom with a walk-in shower, along with a spacious laundry room area and a bonus storage room--a rare combination that makes the space incredibly practical. Comfort features include high-velocity air conditioning for efficient cooling, plus added peace of mind with a 22KW whole-house generator to help keep things running smoothly through Michigan weather.

Outside, the home truly becomes a retreat. A large screened porch invites long Michigan evenings, morning coffee, and relaxed entertaining. The corner lot provides extra breathing room, and the beautiful garden areas create a colorful, peaceful setting that feels like your own private oasis. The walk-out basement offers convenient access into the garage and easy connection to the backyard, making indoor-outdoor living simple and seamless.

This is the kind of home that feels special the moment you arrive--rich with historic charm, packed with storage, and offering room to spread out in all the right places, all in one of Jackson's most beloved historic neighborhoods.
